On Economic Issues, from Jack Hayford

Dear Church, I know there is a great deal of concern in every circle about economic realities in the United States and throughout the world.  These matters are touching very close to home, with many of us being personally affected.  It is important that we maintain a Godly perspective so that we can have all of the peace that children of God may expect to have (Isaiah 26:3).  The president of the Foursquare Church, Pastor Jack Hayford, has just issued…

“Why Do We Love?”

Written by Samantha Steinke for her school newspaper, Christian Life Chronicle Have you ever asked the question “Why do we love?” I know that I have. I’ve asked myself time and time again why I feel the way I do about certain people. Quoting from Jane Austin’s book, Sense and Sensibility, “Is love a fancy or a feeling?” We all have people in our lives that we love in one way or another, whether they are a close family member,…

Important Building Update

Dear Church, After renting the Shelia Daniels Academy for over seven years, the opportunity is upon us to purchase the building! Pastor Harry Stackhouse of The Sign of the Dove has contacted me and indicated that they would like the sale to happen quickly.
